Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted August 2, 2003 Didn't something like this happen with Crucifixio Jones? Where he supposedly died and his wife posted about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted August 2, 2003 Marney's Law of Online Deaths: anyone declared dead on the Internet by the forum post, instant message, or email of a friend, lover, or relative isn't. Corollary: the former person is identical with the latter. Addendum: to prove the Law, ask for a location and an obituary column in a printed newspaper. Check any information given offline.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted August 2, 2003 I'm sorry to hear this also, even though I've never even heard of the poster. With that said, posing this in NHB just begs for someone to flame away. Why is this not in General instead? Not to be an ass myself, but the simple act of this being posted in this forum says to me that this might not be true. Still, we'll never know if it's true or not by a simple post, so whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted August 3, 2003 What the fuck kind of proof? Addendum: to prove the Law, ask for a location and an obituary column in a printed newspaper. Check any information given offline. I'd check with the local coroner's office as well; county-by-county contact information can be found on official state web pages, or through state CME offices. As an example, click here for Virginia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted August 3, 2003 It's a shame if it's true, but if it's not or you think it's not, then no need to post here. In all fairness, the "death" of Highspot was so far fetched and over the top that it was pretty obvious that it was a hoax, while this seems more simple and straight to the point. And whether Chuck E is a gimmick poster or not, he's annoying as hell and about as smart as the typical visitor of the establishment on which he has based his name.

Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted August 3, 2003 It's a shame if it's true, but if it's not or you think it's not, then no need to post here False. I take death seriously, and anyone attempting to fake a death for the purpose of garnering sympathy or making people feel bad is beneath contempt. Since that encompasses the vast majority of online "deaths," I treat any post concerning such things with extreme skepticism. If someone has indeed died, the required information will be easy to obtain and easy to confirm. If no one has died, the information will not be confirmed. The state CME offices investigate each and every sudden death in their jurisdiction and full records are kept. These records are completely public, and there is no possible circumstance under which such deaths could not be confirmed by independent official sources. The original poster needs to put up or shut up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
